"Because of him, it's just ruined everyone's lives," she said.

No, Denise. You ruined your own life because you got caught violating the rules. Move on.

Former Poway city employee, baby sitter, arrested on child molestation claim

POWAY ---- A former Poway city employee is under investigation for allegedly molesting several boys he was hired to baby-sit, authorities said Wednesday.

Richard Milton Knapp, 61, is under investigation for "alleged inappropriate activity around boys," said sheriff's Detective Jim Nares, who declined to discuss details.

On June 13, Knapp was arrested and booked at the George Bailey Detention Facility on three counts of oral copulation with a child under 14 and three counts of continuous child sex abuse, according to records. He was held in lieu of $650,000 bond.

Knapp had worked at the Poway Community Pool as a park attendant, according to Jim Bentz, the city's community services manager. It was unclear how long Knapp had been an employee. Park attendants, Bentz said, work the cash register, answer phones and greet the public.

Knapp was released from custody on June 19, records show, but authorities have not given a reason.

A telephone call to Knapp was not returned.

Suzanne, the mother of two Poway boys Knapp is suspected of molesting, said she "was devastated and in shock."

"I didn't want to do anything physical to him, but I just had questions for him as to why," she said Tuesday.

Suzanne, a telecommunications executive who did not wish to use her last name, said Knapp allegedly molested her two boys, ages 10 and 12. Nares would not discuss information about the victims, which Suzanne claims included two other boys, ages 12 and 13.

Suzanne said she hired Knapp to baby-sit her three children, which includes an 8-year-old boy, while she was working.

Knapp, she said, was paid between $50 to $100 a week to baby-sit her children for two hours a day, five days a week after school.

"Because of him, it's just ruined everyone's lives.""

What an intriguing statement! More than just a moaner's whine, which it is.

I'd read it to say that Kemal knows more than has been admitted. "It's" -- what is it's? Not the trial -- the trial, a focus point would be said differently I think. The more general, less specific, "it's" implies a conspiracy, as does the "everyone's" that follows.

And who is "he"? Linke Clinton's "that woman", it is a bit of self-psychological subconscious redirection. Not "Westerfield", but some "he". Someone -- a he -- who has fouled up the conspriracy. Damon?

Always the victim. They never see their own personal responsibility in their troubles.

The fact remains that if she'd taken the fifth, the company never would have known about her drug use. As things stand now, the people testifying against a criminal suspect are more likely to be punished than the criminal suspect is. If that sounds like Linda Tripp or any number of others who dared to stand up to the Clinton, guess what, it's American justice.
